Buffalo seems to develop a little on the LS-LGL front....so they released the LS-HGL in japan. It is unclear if it will be available somewhere outside of japan, but even if not the info will be useful because it most likely could be used on the LS-LGL as well. The same SoC is used. On the following page they show off timed standby again...something which got lost with the arm9 boxes so far.

thanks to yasunari for the english comments
Short description of the features/changes compared to the LS_LGL aka LS EX:1) 128 MB Ram
2) Timed Standby + Wakeup possible
3) 1 USB Port
4) slightly different position of serial
Comparison LS-LGL vs LS-HGLRear Panelhttp://www.yamasita.jp/linkstation/2008 ... panel.html
The LS-HGL features an USB-Port.
Disassemblyhttp://www.yamasita.jp/linkstation/2008 ... antle.html

regarding to yasunari same structure as the LS-LGL and on the top right of the last picture you can see the 4 holes for serial.
Mainboardhttp://www.yamasita.jp/linkstation/2008 ... board.html
Marvel 88E1118-NNC1 -> Gigabit LAN controller
Marvel 88F5182-A2 C400 -> Media Vault Processor
NANYA NT5TU32N16BG -> 512Mb DRAM * 2

SST 39VF020 -> 256K x8 CMOS Flash
Hard DriveHe then connected the HDD of the LS-HGL to his Kuropro.
http://www.yamasita.jp/linkstation/2008 ... drive.htmlThe HDD has the same structure as on the LS-LGL, of course again the UBoot Bootloader which is loading a kernel + initrd from the first partition which is formated with ext3, rootfs on /dev/sda2 & /dev/sda6 is XFS again.
Connecting Serial + Serial console outputLS-LGL

This is on a LS-LGL. you can see the complete output of the serial console from a fresh boot (Uboot messages, kernel messages) and a complete shutdown.
http://www.yamasita.jp/linkstation/2008 ... st_75.htmlLS-HGL

Again you see the messages from a clean boot (uboot messages, kernel messages)
http://www.yamasita.jp/linkstation/2008 ... nsole.htmlCode:
Starting kernel ...
arg:console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/sda2 rw initrd=0x00800040,15M panic=5 func=0 BOOTVER=1.13
CONFIG_BUFFALO_PLATFORM CONFIG_BUFFALO_LINKSTATION_LSHGL ---
Uncompressing Linux................................................................................................................ done, booting the kernel.
Linux version 2.6.16.16-arm1 (root@build.dd-hot24.nas.buffalo.local) (gcc version 3.4.4 (release) (CodeSourcery ARM 2005q3-2)) #304 Thu Feb 21 11:41:19 JST 2008
CPU: ARM926EJ-Sid(wb) [41069260] revision 0 (ARMv5TEJ)
Machine: MV-88fxx81
Using UBoot passing parameters structure
Sys Clk = 250000000, Tclk = 166664740
Code:
Memory: 128MB 0MB 0MB 0MB = 128MB total
Memory: 110720KB available (2912K code, 550K data, 108K init)
Big difference! The LS-LGL only has 32 MB Ram!
TelnetRegarding to
http://www.yamasita.jp/linkstation/2008 ... lnetd.htmlthe telnet binary again is there, it is just not started. As on the LS-LGL acp_commander will work most likely to start telnet from remote.

For those who do not know yasunari:

He has everything buffalo related with one disk or less
